Three murderers had convictions quashed after cop failed to reveal she knew juror
A LYING cop cost the tax payer £80,000 after she failed to disclose that her son's girlfriend was a juror on a murder trial.
Bryant sat with Mr Brewster's family in the courtroom as Miss Jones was just yards away on the jury bench at Cardiff Crown Court. Don’t tell any of them who you are to me though in case they think I’ve told you about it although you know I haven’t xxxA Court of Appeal judgement said: "Several weeks after the trial an appellant’s solicitor received information that a police officer providing family liaison, Detective Constable Bryant, who had attended court during the trial to provide support to the deceased’s family, had a close relationship with a member of the jury.
"The police officer also failed to say anything to anybody although she was aware that the juror was sitting on the murder trial.” Father-of-three Mr Brewster was stabbed to death with a hunting knife in “callous, cold-blooded” killing in broad daylight during a row with drugs dealer Whelan.
